D., May 16.—Interest in experiments carried on by veterinary science investigators at the North Da- $| kote Agricultural experiment station has prompted a Berlin, Germany, vet- erinary journal called the Archiv 1; fur Wissenschaftliche und Praktische Tierheilkunde to publish an article by Fritz Volkmar, technician in the department of veterinary science at | the North Dakota institution, | Sweet clover.

And the wet banner has been snatched from the East to the far West. “And the poll-will end next week. “Moreover, Nevada's majority per- | V centage surpasses all others on the dripping-wet side and runs neck and neck with the bone-dry ratio of Kan- Sas. “Observe: Kansas, 57.68 per cent for enforcement; Nevada, 57.05 per cent for repeal. “But the unterrified dry phalanx of Arkansas, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee still stands firm against the revised wet align- ment of Connecticut, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, and Rhode Is- land. “In fact, the unwavering stability of the enforcement Big Five seems al- most to forbid any fears of a falling off in the bone-dry vanguard. “The ninth report of The Literary Digest prohibition poll accounts for ® new total of 4,562,761 returned bal- lots, of which 1,386,216 are marked for enforcement, 1,340,441 for modifica- tion, and 1,836,104 for repeal. “As far as pluralities are concerned, it shows 21 states for enforcement, two for modification, and 25 for re- “Enormous interest will now center in next week’s report, for it bids fair to be the final tabulation of this great, record-breaking poll of 20,000,- 000 ballots, which has more than justified itself by the unprecedented response it has evoked, alike in bal- loting and in world-wide discussion. “Next week's Digest will be well worth preservation as the complete record of this tremendous register of public opinion. “Will there be any last-moment sur- prises? Will Mississippi or Texas go over the 50 per cent top for enforce- ment? Will New York or Illinois go over the 50 per cent top for repeal? “None of those sudden shifts would be more remarkable than Nevada's frantic leap into a Kansas-like ma- jority. “At this eleventh hour we present a novelty which may be of interest to our statistical friends. These were ballots marked in two squares instead of one. Some had crosses for both modification and repeal, others for both enforcement and modification. “The duplication of crosses made them ineligible for the poll count, un- der the announced rule for voting, but they were preserved on general prin- ciples. “When the dry-wet dispute over the modification vote first blazed out, some of our readers suggested that the double-marked ballots, if classi- fied, might throw some light on col- umn No, 2's wetness od dryness.” The Literary Digest also gives the figures for the local check-up poll undertaken by the Virginia (Minn.) Enterprise, which questions used in The Literary Digest poll to the entire registered voting Ust of its community. ‘The final vote in the Virginia En- terprise poll shows 26.34 per cent vot- ing for enforcement; 20.69 .per cent modification; and. 52.97 per cent for repeal.

Debits to indi- vidual accounts were as large in April as in the corresponding month last year, with Minneapolis and St. Paul reporting increases and all other por- creases, ranging from 1 per cent in the dairying region to 17 per cent in the mining and lumber areas and at South St. Paul. The country check clearings index was 7 per cent smaller ’| in April than a year ago. Electric power consumption and de- partment store sales showed increases in April as compared with the same month last year, but decreases as compared with a year ago occurred in freight carloadings, postal receipts, building permits and contracts and flour and linseed product shipments. The increase in department store | sales over the volume a year ago was partly due to the later date of Easter, which caused most of the pre-Easter buying to fall in April this year and jin March a year ago. | Improvement in Butter ‘The estimated cash income to farm- ers from the marketing of cash crops, be and dairy products in April was 28 per cent smaller than the income inn these sources in April last year. Declines occurred in the income from all the estimated sources, except po- tatoes. Wheat receipts at Minne- apolis and Duluth-Superior were only two-fifths as large in April this year as in April a year ago. The price of butter increased 1 1-2 cents per pound between March and April this year, although the price of butter ordinarily decreases 2 cents per pound at this time of year, and last year the decrease was 2 1-2 certs per pound. Consequently, the price of butter in April was only 8 cents less than the price a year ago, where- as in March the price of butter was 12 cents under the price in March last year. Decreases in April as compared with the same month last year also occurred in the prices of wheat, corn, Price increases occurred’in flax and pota- toes.

Naturally, every woman is interested in knowing some of the many advantages that Natural Gas will bring to her. In most cases the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, for ‘it is necessary that the housewife spend a good share of her time there. For some time, the kitchen has been made more or less smart and stylish, to conform with the rest of the home, but the stove heretofore did not lend itself to any decorative scheme. With the new gas ranges, however, new beauty is available for this all-important room of the . Magic Chef Kitchen Ranges, one model of which is shown at the left, are truly beautiful. Authorities in art have praised its classic de- sign. in the new vogue of gas ranges, which bring to kitchens a beauty, a brightness, an air of elegance that has hitherto been reserved for the other rooms of the home. No matter what kind of a kitchen you have, small or large, old-fashioned or modern, Magic Chef will transform it into a more beau- tiful, more inviting, more efficient room. Magic Chef incorpates every approved modern feature, including the famous nationally known “Red Wheel” heat regulator, whereby home cooking is made easier and more ef- ficient. Within a short time we will have on display in this city a number of new style, mod- ern gas ranges, equipped. with heat regulators and all-porcelain enamel trimmings. You will find that a modern up-to-date gas range can be purchased far below the price of either coal or electric ranges of the same quality. Our next advertisement with ad- ditional features of importance found in Gas Ranges only, will appear in your next week’s issue of this paper. Watch for it! Montana-Dakota Power Co. ATTA cm
